What does the Pageticker team say about That's Not My Puppy...?
That's Not My Puppy is the original touch-and-feel romp that helped make Fiona Watt's series a firm favourite with tiny book explorers. Bright puppies, satisfyingly varied textures and the ever-present little white mouse give babies plenty to find, stroke and point at, while the repeated wording builds early language skills. It is more sensory treasure hunt than conventional story - but that is precisely the point.
